It doesn't take 100 deg. C for water to start evaporating. I mean, leave a
glass of water in a room temperature, and it'll eventually evaporate, too.
FYI, the oil in my 1.8T engine (A4) always ran at about 80-85 deg. C. I had
the used oil analyzed many times, and it never indicated that water was
present. I kept asking my dealer and AoA about this temp, and they always
said that this temp falls well in what they consider "normal" operating
range.

Pete

Re: a6
120 C is the normal temp for oil in a fully warmed up engine while being
driven on the highway at 2000-3000 rpm (most vehicles). This corresponds to
about 250 F. It should *definitely* be well above 100C (212F)!

I don't think so! This is the normal temp range for coolant, not oil. Oil
should be significanbtly hotter than your coolant, in ANY 4-cycle gas
engine. Diesels -- perhaps a bit cooler than gas, but not below the coolant
temp.

I don't think so! This is the normal temp range for coolant, not oil. Oil
should be significanbtly hotter than your coolant, in ANY 4-cycle gas
engine. Diesels -- perhaps a bit cooler than gas, but not below the coolant
temp.
